Stakeholder engagement is key. Understanding why the restructuring is happening is important to be able to effectively communicate with the team members. Understanding different views, perspectives, and positions is key to tackle concerns and to be able to come up with solutions that work for the parties. Open dialogue individually and also as team, will help team members understand business does not (always) have to be taken personally, and any negative impact can be totally unrelated to their performance. Try to find common ground and alternative solutions so they feel appreciated, respected, and supported.

In my experience, I welcomed input from all team personnel, so they felt valued and we can identify common ground that would enable restructuring seamlessly. I also designated each personnel to a specific task to ensure leadership and substantive buy-in. I would also incorporate their combined feedback for a broader approach openly, so everyone felt the unity and inclusivity towards accomplishing our collective goals, thus minimizing (eliminating) any potential conflict.

To resolve disagreements regarding restructuring techniques, create an open debate in which all stakeholders can express their views and concerns. Use active listening to ensure that everyone understands. Use a systematic decision-making procedure, such as a SWOT analysis, to objectively assess possibilities. Determine shared goals and connect restructuring efforts with these aims. Use negotiation and conflict resolution approaches to bridge gaps. Assign an impartial mediator if required. Maintain open communication and record choices to maintain clarity. Create a collaborative environment to create a consensus-driven solution.

Une chose que je trouve utile a faire avant c’est de bien fixer les objectifs recherchés par la restructuration et surtout le but à atteindre à la fin de celle-ci. Puis donner du temps à toutes les parties impliquées pour prendre connaissance de ces objectifs et buts afin de donner chacun son avis bien évidemment dans un délai de temps prédéfini. Une fois toutes les contributions reçus, organiser une réunion de restitution, d’analyse, de débat où chacun aura l’occasion de défendre ses positions. Je tiens à préciser que toutes les parties doivent savoir au préalable qu’après cet exercice de consultation une décision sera prise par l’autorité principale, et que cette décision sera imposable à tous.

Start by encouraging open dialogue where all perspectives can be heard. Acknowledge the concerns behind differing opinions to build trust. Facilitate a collaborative discussion, focusing on the shared goals of the restructuring. Highlight the benefits and align the strategies with long-term team and organizational success. Be transparent about the reasons behind decisions and be willing to adapt where appropriate. This fosters unity and ensures everyone feels included in the process. Have a safe, positive, and productive day! Chris Clevenger

Restructuring = Change Have a Lunch meeting and pull the whole Team together and have an open conversation. Write all ideas on a board/Screen and the team will then see all ideas and open up dialogue. In order to have buy in you have to work together on a common goal. Some might buy in, some may not.

Navigating conflicts during restructuring requires a thoughtful approach. Start by actively listening to all perspectives to fully understand differing concerns. Facilitate open forums or structured discussions where everyone can voice their viewpoints, fostering respect and inclusion.

Compromise, if possible, and identify common ground that aligns with organizational objectives. Communicate decisions, next steps, and anticipated impact, ensuring continuous dialogue. By prioritizing transparency, empathy, and collaboration, differing opinions can be channeled into constructive solutions.

Facilitate a structured discussion focused on identifying the key priorities and goals that the restructuring aims to achieve, ensuring everyone understands the rationale behind the change. Encourage stakeholders to consider each other’s viewpoints and explore common ground, which can often reveal overlapping goals or shared interests. Use data and objective metrics to back up decisions, which can help to depersonalize the debate.
